The Swedes love Daim cake. It’s made from an almondy biscuit batter that yields a thin cake. The cake is covered with chopped pieces of Daim candy (similar to Heath bars) and milk chocolate. It’s very sweet and rich.

I agree about the Daim torte – it’s delicious. I always get something with the lox, and it seems fine to me. I say ‘always’ because we have been renovating our kitchen the last several months. Cabinets are...

Cloudberry preserves, which are harder to find than lingonberry preserves outside IKEA.

was a good lunch. For $2 no less. So what else is good (Or at least decent) at Ikea at a bargain basement price?? Are the all pretty much the same or is one better than the other?? Thanks DT

Well I went to Ikea to pick up some lump Caviar and looked around and grabbed a few other food items. I stuck this Chocolate cake/torte thing in the freezer and pulled it out a couple nights ago when I has someone over for a...

I hope someone does because I also love it! Not sure about your local Ikea, but ours no longer sells the apple cake, they now carry an apple torte. :(

a particular Chowhound (name withheld) and eat at Spago anytime he likes! Oh how I wish I could! In any case, if I go again, I’d actually skip the eggs at IKEA and ask for more crepes as a subtitute. And, I forgot to mention...

I am having an Ikean furniture building party and would like to provide my friends with Ikea treats – I know it is cheesey, but it should be fun! What is worthy of purchasing to take home? How is the princess cake? Thanks!

Has anyone tried the Princess Cake at IKEA? I’ve never tried this type of cake and would like to. I don’t have time to bake a cake, so as long as the IKEA cake would be better than other storebought, I’ll take...

. Is it shopper’s fatigue that makes this food enticing? The lack of Paramus chowhound options? Is it the playful “feels-like we're back in school” retro-kitsch environs that has my taste buds duped? Or are...

I actually don’t mind Ikea all that much. I used to bring a good book and read while enjoying cake and unlimited coffee/tea/soft drinks. I don’t mind the hotdogs at the cafe either. But definitely not chowhoundish....

I live about 3 hours from an Ikea sooo it’s not a store I will get to on a regular basis. From what I can tell they are HUGE and I will probably only have several hours there. What are some of the kitchen gadgets you have...

we’re headed to ikea— is there anywhere to eat down there?

But Xericx is right. Don’t expect a culinary revelation at IKEA, especially for $0.99. But hey, I still like it. A plus: the Daim Torte ($1.79) is damn good! BTW, speaking of cheap breakfasts, I love the Filipino Breakfasts...

I’d second the Back-a-Yard recommendation, though I do have a weakness for IKEA's Swedish apple cake.
